This performance split the judges, with Rita and Nick giving Tom a standing ovation, while Simon and Cheryl needed more time to think over their feelings on the performance. In particular, Simon notes that some people are going to have loved Tom’s performance, whereas others will likely wonder what in the hell they just watched. However, all four judges end up being positive about Tom’s performance, and I can see why. I’m really not sure how far he’ll go, since he still has a lot of work to do on his pitch, but I think there’s a lot for him to work with here. I’ll be interested to see his next performance.
